About our church

The current East Kilbride Old Parish Church was built in 1774, but there has been a church on this site since pre reformation times.   When the current church was built, it stood in the midst of a small village.  Today it stands in the midst of a large new town with a population of over 75,000 people.  Our church however, is not the building, but the people.  Within that building, there is a warm church family.  People of all ages meet together, all striving to reach out to the community we serve in the Village area and in East Mains.    We have active organisations for children, and for adults, giving a wealth of opportunities for fellowship and sharing and everyone is assured of a warm welcome.

CHURCH MATTERS ANNUAL STATED MEETING

The Annual Stated Meeting was held after the service on Sunday 28th April. During her short introduction, the Minister assured the congregation that, while times are hard for so many churches across Scotland, our Church is thankfully not in decline, but stable in terms of membership and finances. The Financial Accounts for 2012 were then presented by the Treasurer. The Session Clerk invited questions and responded to two that had been submitted prior to the meeting. As the meeting drew to a close, Angus McConnell led a vote of thanks to the Minister for her hard work over the last year.
